In Afghanistan, a senior adviser to Afghan President Hamid Karzai and a member of the Afghan parliament were assassinated Sunday when gunmen stormed a private home in Kabul. Karzai’s aide, Jan Mohammad Khan, was the former governor of Uruzgan province. His death came just days after the killing of Ahmad Wali Karzai, a half-brother of President Hamid Karzai. Meanwhile, the Taliban released footage appearing to show the execution-style killing of 16 Afghan police officers in northwest Pakistan.
